Abstract

MALIGNANCIES MISDIAGNOSED OR MISSED AT EARLY STAGES CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. AT TIMES, HIGHER INDEX OF SUSPICION IS BETTER TO AVOID MISSING MALIGNANCIES THAT COULD BE LIFE-SAVING WHEN TREATED EARLY. OCCURRENCE OF A NUMBER OF MASQUERADES IN OCULAR ONCOLOGY MAKES IT CRUCIAL TO STREAMLINE THE CLINICAL AND INVESTIGATIVE APPROACH, AND PICK UP THE CARDINAL SIGNS AIDING IN ACCURATE AND EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, AND REDUCING UNNECESSARY REFERRALS FOR THE MIMICKERS AND REDUCING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA TO PATIENT AND FAMILY FROM A MISDIAGNOSIS OF MALIGNANCY. THIS INSTRUCTION COURSE WILL OPEN THE EYE TO HELP IN DIFFERENTIATING INNOCUOUS LESIONS FROM THOSE THAT HARBOR MALIGNANT POTENTIAL AND NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION. WHAT THE MIND DOESN’T KNOW THE EYE WILL NOT SEE. THEREFORE, EXPERTS HERE AIM TO SIMPLIFY A VARIETY OF SUCH DILEMMAS FACED IN THE PRACTICE OF OCULAR ONCOLOGY WITH CASE BASED EXAMPLES.
